The fuel that turns confidence into strategy and panic into folded cards.
means The total amount of money someone has available to spend, gamble, or fund a venture with.
from A literal American compound from the 19th century: a bank of money carried as a rolled-up wad of bills, the cash quite physically rolled in the pocket. 'Bank' here is the old gaming-table sense — the pool of money in play — fused with 'roll,' the curl of paper currency. By the early 20th century it had slipped easily into a verb, so that to 'bankroll' something means to be the roll that funds it.
